By Lunatic Go To PostNiggas…It's Christmas😳
By DY_nasty Go To PostDude… That's the disconnect I'm talking about. You can say the Dems are running on healthcare all day but it's really about being not repubs or Trump associated. The front of all this is that it's somehow embarrassing to admit for whatever reason. If policy was so strong then Dems wouldn't be struggling top to bottom in the first place. I don't even know how that's debatable. Their best attribute has been to be more socially palatable.I am trying to be cordial but I am really gfrustrated and really tired of this at this point and why I just walked away because after half a dozen replies you are still mischaracterizing darn near everything I’ve said.
And I didn't even get into media until you brought up Noah and Maddow lol.
If you want circles you can do that… But trying to speak the right being ineffective at enacting policy and entrenching itself methodically into existence is not doing anything other than making some of us sleep better at night.
Nowhere am I saying the left is absent tribalism, that the right hasn’t been successful, or that anti-Trumpism is not a major motivating factor on the left, people can walk and chew gum. My point is that unlike the right, the support base of the left is still anchored around concrete policy goals and ideals while the support base of the right, outside of passionate wedge issue voters in the evangelical community, is almost exclusively a fascist esque group motivated entiriely around blind allegiance to a cult of personality, racism, manufactured hatred of the other, and appeals to emotion. And you can see evidence of this in how each side attempts to appeal to their voter base. About how unwed fact, ethics, morality, and reality are to those voters.
You can get mad all you want man I'm not being a dick 😂
If you want to call Republicans tribal and driven by emotion, but won't do the same for the left then it's inherently bias.
I don't even understand how you can say the Dems are bottom up after how they've been getting blasted at the local level all over the country prior to the 'blue wave'.
But hey if you disagree that's cool. I just don't think it's a facists blah blah thing like these are new stances or narratives.

It's 100% true that Democratic candidates talked about healthcare more than Trump in their campaign messaging in 2018.
Tbh, I think Jonm is an amazing poster, but DY is right on a fundamental point: if the Dems are so intellectual rather than emotional, why they keep losing tho? They got hustled by a team of fucking Michael Flynn and Michael Cohen. And now the supposed checks and balances that be are too paralyzed to do anything about abuses of power. Simmer on that, my friends, on how fundamentally broken the government is now because Democrats were simply not smart enough. They are not our Black Panther.
By curlyfries Go To PostIt's 100% true that Democratic candidates talked about healthcare more than Trump in their campaign messaging in 2018.its also true that their campaign messaging glossed over a few whole states that were supposedly in the bag because they assumed love was everlasting. they got rekt in districts that they basically ignored for years too.
but even then, i mean sure - maybe more people would've been enthusiastic about all that if the ACA wasn't some half done effort that ended in yet another compromise too.
you can't even say that republicans are more firmly based into political tribalism when these past two years have shown anything but. bernie's meander away from the podium and petty concession didn't exactly do a lot for the momentum of the campaign to put it nicely. then you've got dems picking obama's corpse before he's even cleaned out his office. shit, dems are going crazy right now for an elect. that's how absurd and leaderless they are. the right identified their guy (not jeb), circled the wagons, swallowed a bitter pill, and made sure that they put a boot in every immigrants ass, a rapist in every court, and got their tax scam out. a wins a win. dems wish they had this unity...
you can't say that they don't get shit done. and that's just national level. the new republican south isn't to be fucked with either...
By FortuneFaded Go To PostDo you think I am an amazing poster?
Yes.
Flutter, too.
But mostly, I like Randolph, Rob, Laboured, Hitch, and NinjaFridge.
Those five are humorous.
You're humorous, too.
Edit: Oh yeah, and Lunatic if he isn't banned for being insensitive. That chap made a mistake he has to learn from.

not that a lot of this isn't nonsense (Republicans were the unified ones in 2016? What the fuck?) but it also doesn't have anything to do with the original point, which is that the Democrats doing the actual campaigning in 2018 were pretty focused on material issues and not anti-Trump tribalism or whatever.
Oh yeah and the Turkish guy who used to go by the username Facism and has weird ass avatars now is also hella hilarious. Always cracks me up. Didn't wanna forget to mention him. He's definitely in top 5 too. Always calling people gammon or something. British slang is too funny.

the irony is that same energy came from the left with bernie but with none of the locked arms afterwards. i don't get how that's unified for you guys at all. not even getting into the stuff in congress...
the policy from the left is always flimsy. you can't be pro-women's rights, then pick kaine. its supremely difficult to believe anything hillary says about "setting pharma straight" too. or anything related to foreign policy for that matter. its something that you really have to be genuinely above to not realize how they put everything on policy and "one step at a time" but do it while disregarding a history of moving progressively towards the right and center in order broaden appeal. its lip service as i said. people notice. and when you're not even bothering to do the dance at local levels, they'll move on entirely.
they're not even true progressive. hell, if they were then they'd take up the mantle on gun control instead of constantly asking victims' families to do it. they'd step in on overzealous cops. student loan forgiveness wouldn't be in the same pile as reparations lol. they'll sit back and wait for common people take the full brunt of the pushback then they'll put their names on it
i don't like republicans but that doesn't mean i'm gonna downplay how good they are at kicking our asses. meanwhile we really thought it was a good idea to pick up sleeper republicans and call them blue dogs
I don't think you can find greater hypocrisy in the U.S. then what keeps happening to basic reproductive rights and the access to that and healthcare. You get shit opining on our Maternal Mortality rate and then no mention of how many clinics nationwide just don't exist anymore. No correlation there I'm sure. Dems couldn't give a fuck either since they've been keeping Hyde around.
They have an image / pr issue, too. One day, everyone is in a state of joyous reverie, with Pelosi saying that we're gonna work on putting the environment first. Two days later, "nahhh, fuck all that green shit."
Is it Oochie Wally or 1 Mic?

And dems said no.

republicans will circle up around guys who are banned from the mall but we can't even let auntie waters talk her shit lol...
By DY_nasty Go To Postrepublicans will circle up around guys who are banned from the mall but we can't even let auntie waters talk her shit lol…After getting racist insults tossed at her too by the sitting president no less.
Pls dont. Civility. Decorum.
My housemate's future plan/dream is literally a white ethnostate gated community somewhere in Norway. Apparently there's this billionaire working on materialising that utopia. Supposedly it will be completely self sufficient.

He met this Russian girl online. He's already told her she's welcome to stay over.
What the fuck am I supposed to say?
I often have to really think about whether or not he's kidding. My face when he brought up the Jordan Peterson lobster hierarchy bit.
This is wild.

By Random Ass Username Go To PostSo they gonna do like DNA tests? Certain looks? Blue eyes only? What's the white threshold here?Fuck if I know. I don't think his mother is entirely 100% white but I've never been bothered to bring that up. If they're going by some kind of one drop policy, he's not getting in.
Last week: "If you don't pay taxes, you shouldn't be able to vote."

Make sure to let him know "white" isn't an ethnicity or race. Fucking gammon benchod.

By Freewheelin Go To PostShocked that I’m not on Smoke Dogg’s list tbhDo you really want to be on a list that Hitch is on?
Smh dogg

Roflmfao very good.
By Freewheelin Go To PostShocked that I’m not on Smoke Dogg’s list tbh
Smh dogg
Roflmfao you need to post more often breh! Then you'd be more prominent on the list. I do appreciate that you asked about Ocasio-Cortez one time, cuz it let me have another opportunity to stan for her. She's my boss.
By YungMagus Go To PostWhat about me smoke?
Yes, you're a good poster too, but mostly in the video games thread. ITT you only like to clown on me. It's ok, I'm just on my Donald Trump powers, so thanks for affirming that.
By Kibner Go To PostGet back on track to talking about actual topic of this thread, please.
Apologies
On-Topic:
By DY_nasty Go To Postrepublicans will circle up around guys who are banned from the mall but we can't even let auntie waters talk her shit lol…
Yea.......... this is a big problem in general.
Not sayin that a high road/standards is a bad thing but ya can't have "fair/wholesome/wegohigh" debates and the like when groups are bout that gang life.
Fuck how would, "sir you're no jack kennedy" play out now?
By FortuneFaded Go To PostMost federal employees are Democrats?
Bruh really tryin to say hes a minority huh?
Sayin that even the federal employees didn't even vote for him..........
Most of the federal employees I know are actually Republican, on some Ron Swanson shit. True story.
One federal employee I know is a minority himself and admitted to me that he didn't want his girls going to a high school with too many black students because then his girls might get pregnant, so he asked one of his friends who lives in the rich white ppl's district to let his girls use their address so his girls could go to a rich school with mostly white students, and now his minority daughter is dating a white boy and he literally couldn't be happier about it.
I was actually watching Jeopardy last night and there was a contestant on there who was talking about how his engineer father had refused to sit in for an interview with Steve Jobs because of the fact that Steve Jobs had been wearing jeans at the time. Fucking jeans! That literally reminded me of how uptight federal employees are. The engineer father could've been a millionaire right now, and then his son wouldn't have to be playing some Jeopardy for my entertainment instead.

By FortuneFaded Go To PostLiterally no one in my agency said this, even the most diehard MAGAts. My manager has this shithead as his wallpaper and even he’s pissed off.
Then again what’s new, he always has “so many people come up to him telling him x, y and z.”
